Fans are eagerly awaiting season 5 of Stranger Things, and new information has come in about what we can expect in terms of returning cast members.
Season four debuted in two parts in 2022, and because of the writers’ and actors’ strikes, filming on season five was delayed. We can only imagine that filming will begin as soon as possible for the fifth season.
Keep reading to see what we learned about returning and departing cast members…
Some of the biggest names in entertainment were in attendance at the Academy Women’s Luncheon, which was timed perfectly to celebrate the end of the actors strike.
Kristen Stewart, Lupita Nyong’o, America Ferrera, and Maude Apatow were just some of the stars who attended the luncheon at the Academy Museum on Thursday afternoon (November 9) in Los Angeles.
The afternoon, presented by Chanel, featured opening remarks by Academy President Janet Yang, followed by actor and former Academy governor Annette Bening, who introduced this year’s U.S. Gold Fellowship for Women recipient, Erica Eng.
America delivered a keynote presentation.
“Fellowship is community, and we’ve all decided to invest in fellowship just by being here this day,” she said during her speech (via THR). “Our grandmothers and our great-grandmothers dreamed of rooms like this. Women from different backgrounds telling stories, celebrating each other, even as we stand together to demand more space, more resources and more opportunity. Community is not something that we can or should take for granted. And I would like us to consider that growing and strengthening this community might be the key to moving this industry forward.”

Sadie Sink went casual for a day out in New York City.
The 21-year-old Stranger Things star rocked a pair of overalls while out with a friend around the SoHo neighborhood of the city on Monday afternoon (August 21).
Sadie and her guy friend were seen taking the subway to the downtown area, and grabbing a bite to eat together for a leisurely day out.
Just recently, Sadie opened up about cutting her long red hair into a shorter style, and how she felt afterwards.
“I never really thought about cutting my hair in my own life,” she admitted to Refinery29. “‘It never crossed my mind to do something like that. But once it happened, I felt very empowered by it.”
Sadie added that since everyone knew her “with long hair. It was always such a talking point; my hair was a very defining feature for me. So to get rid of that — especially just turning 21 and stepping into adulthood — that big change felt really exciting.”
She first chopped it off for a role, Sadie admits it was “also right for where I [am] in my own life. It feels more like me. It’s also hot as h*** right now, so it’s nice to have a foot of hair off.”
Sadie was one of the many celebs spotted at Taylor Swift‘s Eras tour.
Taylor Swift has finished the first U.S. leg of her Eras Tour and the final stop had the most star-studded crowd so far on the whole tour!
The 33-year-old singer performed the sixth show of the L.A. run on Wednesday night (August 9) at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
There were tons of celebs sitting in Taylor‘s special VIP tents on the floor, but plenty of celebs also were in regular seats scattered around the stadium or in private suites located either on the sides of the floor or in the upper decks.
The VIP tents are only for Taylor‘s invited guests and there’s been a lot of talk on social media over one specific person who didn’t make it into a tent.
We already recapped all the celebs spotted on night one in our first post, all the celebs from nights two and three in the next post, celebs from night four in another post, and celebs from night five in an additional post.
